ELGIN, Ill. (STMW) – A 57-year old northwest suburban man was charged with involuntary manslaughter and reckless discharge of a firearm Wednesday for the shooting death Monday night of a teen he believed was breaking into his car.

The Cook County State’s Attorney’s office charged Donald Rattanavong of the 800 block of Arthur Drive in Elgin with in the shooting of 18-year old Guillermo Pineda. Pineda and several other teenagers were believed to be burglarizing Rattanavong’s car at about 10:50 p.m., a release from Elgin police said.

Pineda, of the 1100 block of Iroquois, Elgin, was taken to Sherman Hospital with a gunshot wound to the head. He died a short time later, police said.

Acknowledging his state has “come under the harsh glare of criticism” over a controversial new “religious freedom” law, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said he wants state lawmakers to pass new legislation that makes clear businesses cannot discriminate against gay and lesbian couples.

Police said the robbers used a prop in at least two holdups in the Fuller Park neighborhood. They set up a road construction barrel in the street, and when a motorist gets out of his or her car to move it aside, the robbers pounce.
